Before ascending to God, be a good lord

Chapter 152. 150. Go to the Salt Mine
Rand, who walked around the city, returned to the east wall of the city, stood on the wall and looked northeast, "If there is a chance, set up a huge market by the river over there!"

"Market?" Ben was a little surprised, "Aren't there commercial streets in the city?"

"It's not a small commercial street." Rand planned a large-scale comprehensive commercial area similar to a bonded area and a fair. They bring goods from everywhere, we sell our goods."

"What goods do you have for sale?" The more Ben listened, the more strange he became. Why are you bothering outside the city when there is nothing in the city?
"Ore, magic plants, alchemy products, everything will be there." Rand knew that Ben Kaul was mocking his territory for not producing anything, but he was not worried. Rand believed that he had such a large territory, and it would definitely grow in the future. There are a large number of businessmen who come to do business in the territory.

"Not only is there a business district in the east, but there is also a special college area in the west of the city." Rand was very happy to imagine his future city, business and industry in the east, culture and education in the west, and a stadium in the north. What a reasonable plan!

Ben looked at the young man in front of him, and silently drew all of Rand's urban vision in his heart. Obviously, Rand's city has more than 100 million people, otherwise there is no need to draw a place outside the city as an industrial zone.

Although it is not clear how Rand intends to realize his various visions, Ben Kaur is even more curious about the descendants of the galloping horse in front of him.

. . .

When the sun was about to set that day, Rand and Ben welcomed Wendy and Lili, who had finally completed the road construction, and the earth-type magic goblins at the south gate. Of course, there were more than 300 non-magic people from their vanguard. And more than 90 knights.

Wendy brought not only materials and population, but also luxury carriages, watch masts and nearly 100 pack animals that Rand urgently needed.

On the third day, February 2th, under Rand's strong request, Ben Kaul had to stop for another day, and used the lookout mast and drawing magic to draw the entire map of Yeqi City on multiple sheets of animal skin paper. superior.

Rant held the animal skin and looked at the precise map like the satellite photos in his previous life, and suddenly had a realization that precise magic expression is really useful!

Now that Wendy, Lili and other demon-owning girls have arrived, Kaur began to perform the important task of a teacher, teaching Wendy and others to identify the many magic circles in the palace, and organized them to repair some damages in the palace with the earth elves array.

The magic circles in the entire palace are nested layer by layer. It is unknown how many magic crystals are needed to activate them. However, in the cellar where the camp is located, there is also a separate magic circle that can be directly opened and closed to play basic functions such as lighting, ventilation, and heating.

According to Rand's idea, in addition to the restoration of some of the magic circles in the cellar area, some functional rooms upstairs also need to be restored as soon as possible, and some rooms can be used first in the future.

The entire Padmira Mountain is more than ten kilometers from north to south, standing like a high wall on the east side of Yeqi City. Now Lant lives in only the central part of the palace, and there is still a lot of space waiting to be explored.

But for Rand, he has more than one task. When he left the salt mine last year, Rand took all the salt that could fit, but there are still some mined salt mines in the cave, some of which have been boiled. When it's over, some are still brine.

Rand brought a large number of pack animals this time, just to go to the salt mine again. On the one hand, to investigate whether the salt mine has been occupied by some small tribes that are not open to eyes after two months of leaving. On the other hand, please Ben to check it out. , Can you use alchemy equipment instead of manpower to mine salt mines.

So on the 7th, Pete led 50 knights and half of the cavalry in Yeqi City to escort the pack beast team to the north, preparing to go to the salt mine.According to estimates, it will take at least 6 days for the team to reach the salt mine, and at least 10 days to complete all the packing and return.

And Rand will take Ben, Kenan Dowers, Wendy and the Rock Fairy there in two days, and it is estimated that they will arrive in 2-3 days, as long as Ben completes the preliminary exploration and testing and lets Wendy Take the rock goblin to try whether you can dig the salt mine with the magic goblin, no matter whether it is feasible or not, several people can return directly.

. . . . . . .

On the 10th, several people from Rand set off, and their fast horses arrived at the camp south of the salt mine in less than 3 days.

The former Gray Goose Headquarters camp specifically asked to keep it all when Rand left. There were even a few demon possessors who were used to living on the plains and about 100 non-magic people who hoped to stay and take care of this tent for Rand. area.

Rand agreed at the time, and left some pack animals and long-haired sheep with them.

The gray goose camp in the distance was getting closer and closer. Ben Kaul looked at the solid earthen wall around the camp and the eye-catching big tent inside the camp, so he couldn't help but make fun of Rand.

"Is this the main camp of Gray Goose? Sure enough, the largest tribe on the Galloping Horse Plain is well-deserved of its reputation." The mage looked at Rand with a smile, "Rand, when you saw this tribe, there was no one who was born. Is it a barbarian question?"

"No, from the time I defeated the second or third tribe, I was sure that I was the barbarian. I had no iron, no horses, no one, and no money.

You are looking at the family, you can get what you want, except for the wild characters in the name, the rest of the family is rich and noble, I just belong to the human race, how can others compare with my family? "In fact, Rand felt that his nobleman was not much different from livestock at first.

Rant complained about himself so much that Ben couldn't bear it, "You're not that bad."

"As long as my life is better than theirs, I won't rob them." Rand didn't care who was worse in the past, after all, he was the one who raised Gray Goose.

The left-behind human race warmly welcomed their lord back. Rand saw that the left-behind people had a good life in the past few months. The speed of these people's consumption of long-wool sheep far exceeded the average level.

But Rand didn't care, after all, without them, as long as the camp was still there, they would have completed the mission.

During dinner, Rand mentioned to Ben Call the various rooms in the cave in the salt mine, including the emergency communications room.

"Oh, can you recognize the magic furnace room and the emergency communication room?" Ben was a little surprised, "The magic furnace room is standard in all big cities. These magic furnaces can be traced back to ancient times, but it is a pity that the human empire cannot manufacture them."

"It seems that our human empire is not that powerful." Rand muttered, as far as the technology seen so far, the level of the human empire is quite different from what Albert boasted back then.

"Hahaha, did Albert tell you that the human empire is in its best era?" Ben smiled, "The best era of the human empire depends on how it compares, compared with the human beings in the past, and the current continent. The orcs and elves are indeed the strongest."

Ben didn't go on, but Rand understood that compared with the various races in ancient times, it was almost meaningless.
